Nugent, a prominent vocal conservative and gun-rights advocate,
was invited by Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas), who last month
threatened Obama with impeachment over some of the executive
actions the President took on gun control.

“I am excited to have a patriot like Ted Nugent joining me
in the House Chamber to hear from President Obama,” Stockman said
in a statement. “After the Address I’m sure Ted will have
plenty to say.” Stockman's office encouraged reporters to
schedule interviews with Nugent before or after the address.
Nugent is an NRA board member.

During the presidential campaign, Nugent got the Secret Service's
attention when he famously said, "If Barack Obama
becomes the president in November again, I will either be dead or
in jail by this time next year." After Obama won re-election,
Nugent went on a Twitter tirade and said the U.S. had voted for
"economic and spiritual suicide."
